Kenya’s Astral Aviation has announced the reintroduction of cargo flights between Sharjah in the UAE and Eldoret in Kenya.

The decision aims to enhance connectivity and facilitate efficient airfreight services between the two key locations.

The cargo airline's decision to resume flights between Sharjah and Eldoret comes as part of its ongoing efforts to expand its operational network and provide airfreight solutions.

The airline is set to play a crucial role in facilitating trade and logistics between the UAE and Kenya.

According to the latest information available, Astral Aviation will operate the flights using its diverse fleet of aircraft, including the Boeing 767-200F.

The reintroduction of these services signifies a significant milestone for the airline as it continues to strengthen its presence in the region.

In response to this development, industry experts have highlighted the importance of such initiatives in boosting trade relations and supporting economic activities between Sharjah and Eldoret.

The reintroduction of cargo flights by Astral Aviation is expected to have a positive impact on businesses relying on efficient airfreight services for their operations.

Stakeholders in both regions are optimistic about the opportunities that the renewed air connectivity will bring for businesses and industries relying on timely and efficient cargo transportation services.
